"Then I'll send it over to Mr. Norton first, he said that he needs it urgently for a meeting." Having said that, Mrs. Filder turned around and left the study.
"Hey Mrs. Filder, wait a minute!" Vivian called out to the housemaid who had just left the study. "I'll go and deliver it to Finnick instead since I'm more familiar with the directions to his company. It'll be quicker that way."
"If that's the case, alright then." Thinking that she really wasn't familiar with Finnick's company, Mrs. Filder responded, "Then Mrs. Norton, you should hurry up, Mr. Norton sounded rather anxious over the phone earlier."
"Yes, alright." After she replied Mrs. Filder, Vivian ran to the bedroom and put on a jacket, then she rushed out of the house hurriedly.
Shortly after that, Vivian reached Finnick's company in a cab.
"Finnick forgot to bring some documents and I'm here to deliver them." Vivian explained to the company's receptionist briefly.
"Alright, that's the president's personal lift, you can just take that one up." The receptionist could instantly recognize that she was the president's wife as she pointed towards the lift and let her in immediately.
"The president's ex-girlfriend went up earlier and now his wife rushed here all of a sudden, what's happening?” The receptionist and her female colleague, who was next to her, whispered as they watched Vivian wait for the lift.
"Didn't she say that she was here to deliver some documents?" The female colleague also heard what Vivian said earlier.
"Are you daft? Do you really believe that? She's clearly here to catch them in action. Woah! The battle between the ex-girlfriend and the wife. I can imagine how crazy it'll be just by thinking about it!" The receptionist said excitedly while her face lit up.
They thought their whispers were soft but in actual fact, they were so exhilarated that they raised their volume without realizing it. After all, it was rare to come across such a huge scandal.
Vivian was standing not far from them, so she could faintly hear what they were saying and began to grip the document tightly. Is Evelyn really upstairs now?
Vivian walked anxiously into the lift after the door opened. While watching the floor numbers change, Vivian became more and more nervous. She was trying to come up with an explanation for her visit if she were to see Finnick and Evelyn
together later.
It was true that she wasn't comfortable knowing that Finnick and Evelyn were together, hence she delivered the document on behalf of Mrs. Filder. In that case, it certainly sounded like she was trying to catch them in action.
